-- Jon Radermacher, associate professor and head of the Department of Media Arts, has curated an exhibition for the Sewickley Arts Initiative titled "Pretty: FUNCTIONAL." The exhibition seeks to promote an appreciation and understanding of craft by displaying works made in glass, metals, plastics, ceramics and wood. "In an age of mass consumption offactory-made goods, it is easy to forget that some of the most beautiful things around us are shaped by hand and made from materials that have their own voice," says Radermacher. All works in the exhibition are of the highest levels of craftsmanship from Pittsburgh-area artists Tadao Arimoto, Melissa Fitzgerald, Jason Forck, Adrienne Grafton, and Michael Smithhammer. Also featured are Arthur Hash of New Paltz, New York, and Tim Mather of Bloomington, Indiana. The exhibition is located at 419 Beaver Avenue, in Sewickley. The opening reception is tonight, Dec. 14 from 6 to 9 p.m., and the exhibition will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 15, at 419 Beaver St. in Sewickley.

EDITOR'S NOTE -- This will be the final Minuteman of 2012. Happy Holidays, and see you in January!
